14/1
Once a smart chasing prospect but last season's form makes him a very hard sell on his return to action lumping weight to all his rivals.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-4| J: K M Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR:  144| C| D
25/1
Last season's Irish National hero, hasn't been spotted since that Fairyhouse success and returns to action from a career-high handicap mark.
3
Horse silk
Out Samt,v21
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-0| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR:  140
9/1
Impressive reappearance when winning the Cork National this month (3m4f, good to yielding) from Rogue Angel. Has gone up 8lb for that win, but needs to be considered again.

Horse silk
Raz De Maree21
Age: 13|  Weight: 11-0| J: G N Fox| T: G P Cromwell| OR:  140| C| D
33/1
Welsh National winner at the turn of the year, out of form since however and finished a long way behind Out Sam at Cork recently.

Age: 10|  Weight: 10-12| J: P Townend| T: G Elliott| OR:  138| D
14/1
2016 Irish Grand National winner for Mouse Morris. No win since but typically improved since joining this trainer and showed the fire still burns when close second behind Out Sam in Cork National this month.
6
Horse silk
Squouateurt212
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: B J Geraghty| T: G Elliott| OR:  138
12/1
Often touted in this sort of environment but remains 0-13 over fences. Kim Muir run would give him a chance but poor both starts afterwards and doesn't boast a great record fresh. Ability is in there.
7
Horse silk
Tout Est Permis28
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: S W Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR:  138
9/1
Joined Noel Meade this summer and made impressive start with career-best to win at Galway (2m6½f, yielding) last month. 10lb higher now but needs to be on the shortlist given he had plenty in hand.
8

Woods Well47
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: D Meyler| T: G Elliott| OR:  138
11/1
Not the most consistent last season, though ran in plenty good contests. Improved on reappearance to deny Rashaan at Galway, up in trip now and interesting if backing that run up.
9
Horse silk
Arkwrishtt15
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  137
12/1
Sixth in the Irish National and has tuned up for this with spin around Naas in 2m Grade 3 earlier in the month. This a more realistic mission and yard going well.

Horse silk
Magic Of Lightp212
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-10| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR:  136| C
20/1
Ended last term by winning a Mares Handicap Chase at Punchestown over 2m5f on soft ground in first-time cheekpieces (retained). This is tougher on return to action.
11
Horse silk
Space Cadet211
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-9| J: B J Cooper| T: G Elliott| OR:  135
20/1
Third in the Thyestes at Gowran in January and second in Leinster National at same track amongst positive showings last term. Failed to complete in two most recent starts however and back from a break here.
12
Horse silk
Spider Web42
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-9| J: L P Dempsey| T: T Mullins| OR:  135| D
7/1
Still making progress in this sphere, as shown when holding off Na Trachtalai Abu to win the Munster National last month. 8lb higher today but capable of staying competitive.
13
Horse silk
Eight Till Latep3
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-8| J: C J Orr(7)| T: Francis Casey| OR:  134
20/1
Versatile performer is holding form well, going down battling in Listed contest at Thurles earlier in the week after a late jumping error. Wouldn't like to discount turned out quickly here.

Mr Diablot15
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-7| J: D J Mullins| T: J P Dempsey| OR:  133
50/1
Was coming back from a long spell on the sidelines when well held at Naas this month over timber. Seems like there is plenty to prove at the moment.
15
Horse silk
Minella Beau21
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-6| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins| OR:  132| BF| D
8/1
Was still in a threatening position in the Cork National this month when coming to grief at three out. Ruby Walsh stays faithful and is an unexposed contender.
16
Horse silk
Timiyant21
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-4| J: M P Walsh| T: G Elliott| OR:  130
20/1
Did some decent late work in the Cork National but still finished in midfield behind a few of these rivals and hard to predict a big turnaround.

Na Trachtalai Abup,t42
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-3| J: D Robinson(3)| T: J Motherway| OR:  129| D
20/1
Had plenty of these behind when running a stormer to be second to Spider Web in the Munster National last time. Must repeat the dose now, but will be in the mix if doing so.
18
Horse silk
Our Fatherb,t42
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-3| J: B Hayes| T: G Elliott| OR:  129| D
33/1
Was returning from almost three years off in the Munster National on first start for this handler. Lightly-raced for a 12-year-old and shaped as if some ability is retained before fading late on, could do better.
19
Horse silk
Poormans Hillp21
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-3| J: A Ring| T: G Elliott| OR:  129| D
33/1
Gordon Elliott got an excellent return from him last season but recent run behind Out Sam in the Cork Grand National rather confirmed the suspicion the handicapper has got him cornered now.

Age: 10|  Weight: 10-2| J: R Loughran| T: Peter Fahey| OR:  128| C| D

Fine third in the Blazers at the Galway Festival, starting to paddle when falling two out in Listed Wexford contest last time though and vulnerable now.

Horse silk
Young Turkt21
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-2| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  128| D
16/1
Tipperary winner last month in beginners' event, lacks experience over these obstacles, as evidenced with fall in Cork Grade 3 novice last time. Likely to find out more about himself in this field.

Kylecrueb42
Age: 11|  Weight: 9-13| J: D E Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR:  125| D

Plenty to find seemingly after finishing well down the field in Munster National won by Spider Web latest. Hard to make a case for.

Has picked up a couple of prizes in Britain this year over 3m, ran a fair race last time at Ayr (3m, heavy) and returns to Irish shores rated 7lb lower. Could outrun his odds.

Grand Partner7
Age: 10|  Weight: 9-11| J: A E Lynch| T: T Mullins| OR:  123| C
20/1
More like it when third in Punchestown handicap chase (2m6½f, good) last week. Runs off the same mark here, albeit should have to improve to match that placing in this line-up.
26

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-10| J: Reserve 1| T: P Roche| OR:  121
28/1
Progressing nicely, denied hat-trick last week at Punchestown (2m6½f, good) having shot up the ratings. More on his plate again if getting in (First Reserve).

14:30 Navan - 25 November 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Gordon Elliott has won the last four renewals and, on weight of numbers alone, he's hard to oppose again. Out Sam showcased his credentials at Cork and will be popular. Runner-up Rogue Angel is admirable and can run well but the one to take from that race might be Minella Beau, fancied and moving well when he came down three out. Spider Web, Tout Est Permis and Eight Till Late all have merit while Arkwrisht should be spot on after his Naas. A sporting chance is taken with SWINGBRIDGE at a big price near the foot of the weights. He's been in good tune in Britain and is rated 7lb lower back in Ireland.
  1. Swingbridge
  2. Minella Beau
  3. Arkwrisht
